Kikkawa

The Kikkawa were a feudal Japanese samurai clan from Izumo Province in the Chugoku region of western Honshu. They were allies with the Mori clan, with Motoharu Mori becoming a member of the family via adoption. The Kikkawa were also allies of the Kobayakawa clan and became vassals of the Toyotomi in the 1580s. They assisted in the invasion of Kyushu in 1585-1587, and were later given the Iwakuni Domain.
